Robert Pattinson's quest for a NYC hot dog is pure art

Robert Pattinson is on a mission. A mission so crucial and dangerous that he risks his identity and his life for it.

He NEEDS a NYC hot dog and he needs it NOW.

In a hilariously dramatic short film made to accompany his GQ profile, Pattinson takes us on a hunger-driven journey to avoid the paparazzi, conceal his identity, and get a hot dog if it's the last thing he does. Fear & Shame, written by Pattinson himself, is a TRIP, and it will awaken your Twilight-obsessed love for him all over again.

The film begins with Pattinson staring longingly out of Bowery Hotel window. He's torn -- stay put and eat something from the mini fridge, or risk being seen while enjoying some delicious NYC street food? His Twilight days have left him paranoid about being followed, and being seen might be too much of a risk for a measly snack.

But then, he sees a man with a hot dog and the world stops. He takes the plunge. Narrating his journey in an amalgam of strange and grotesque voices, he disguises himself, dodges confused #TeamEdward fans, and almost eats his phone out of pure desperation following the hot dog man, but does he make it to the promised land?

Watch Robert Pattinson's tortured journey to find a morsel of sustenance in the adorable Fear & Shame.
